Granite Chips From GranltevlIle.

| Ed. Register-Everything looks dull and
dreary at the Quarries on account of strike
amongst the stone cutters, who went out on
Thursday of last week. 1t seems as there is
a dispute over the payment of $3.50. AS near
as l can learn it is just claim and should be
paid. There was stone given out that was
short in figures for cutting, and when the
committee sent the ticdet back for cOrrec-
ton, the superintendent refused to give the
price and concluded to cut the stone by the
day instead Of by the piece, and he took the
! stone from the man that first took 1t up and
put another on by the day and refused to pay
| for work done by the piece on the stone
| hence the strike.
Garibaldi seems to be getting his work
IN early, as it was predicted when he first
took charge of the works that before he was
in charge six weeks that he would have trou-
BILE with the men; but 1 hope he will not
make another Cape Ann out of Graniteville,
rs think that Mr. Allen is too much of a
business man to let any man ruin his bus
| mess.
Uncle Joe Rowse was duly installed in
charge of the "Betsy Ann" on the first
proXimo, and George says he was glad to ge:
away. Success to you in your future under
| takings, George.
The receipts at the store fell short about
$500 in the sales on the first of the month,
owing to the pending strike.
| About twenty-five of the stone cutters left
| for other places. Some went to Colorado,
others to Chicago and the East, and the place
looks quite deserted. Only the click of the
apprentices hammers are heard in the sheds.
The qIarries are still running, but If the
strike continues for any length of time they
| too will be closed down until the existing
trouble is settled.
The Governors whistle reminds me Of a

IN MEMORIAM.
Died, June the 9th, 1887, JAMES HUGHES.
He had been sick long time. We do not
know his age, but he was getting tolerably
old-suppose about 60 years. He professed
religion and joined the Methodist church
some three weeks before his death.
How blest the righteous when he dies,
When sinks a weary soul to rest!
How mildly beams the closing eyes!
How gently heaves the expressing breast !!
A holy quiet reigns around,
A calm which life nor death destroys,
And naught disturbs that peace profound
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.
Prof. Scott will deliver lecture on the

Ed. Register-The rains spoken of in my
last as approaching us did not reach us, but
at different times during the last week In
May and the first week in this month, heavy
rains fell in all directions, but we have had
no considerable amount Of rain since about
the 2Sth of last month. In the meantime
hot-a portion of the time very bot-weather
prevailed land as a natural consequence much
damage resulted to growing crops, particu-
larry to early potatoes, beans and like garden
struck" Oats also were injured to some
extent and corn "twisted " badly. On last
Tuesday morning a light but greatly re-
freshirg shower fell hereabouts; it was fol-
lowed by a considerable change in the at
mosphere which did great good in keeping
vegetation of all kinds from being burned
The sun still shone with a burning heat,
but the cool winds that blew constantly
served to temper it. The quite cool nights
and heavy dews also favored our crops.
Among those who visited relatives in this
vicinity since my last are the following:
Mrs. j. w. Cole and her son, Master Eddie,
of Cub Greek; Mr.. c. D. Lucas, from near
| Palmer.
On the afternoon of the 10th instant, Mr..
James Bryan was hastily summoned to his
house by the announcement that his two
year old daughter, Dellie, was about dead.
| He found her in commissions which were re-
peated at intervals of few minutes. After
few doses of worm medicine were given
her, the child recovered.
Mr.. j. L. Midyett is building a commo-
dious barn.
| Mr.. w. j. Anderson intends opening a
store at his place in short time.
| Wheat harvest is done and stacking has
begun. Haying is now in order, and the
weather of the past ten days has been very
good for harvesting and haying.
| Last autumn MIR. A. r. McMurtrey, resid.
ing near Belgrade, Mo-, sold twenty head OF
hogs to John Sutton, Esq, who took them to
| Current River to "winter" on the mast. Mr.
McMurtrey was no little surprised recently
at the sudden return to his place of his old
pets. Talk about horse sense! Hogs
| seems good enough to cause the possessOl
thereof to return home after having fulfilled
the wishes of its owner, even though the
distance intervening be great.
Corn crops are growing finely, notwith'
standing the drouth just past. II we have
no drouth during July and August it is be.
lieyed that an abundance Of corn will be rails
ed in this vicinity.
| At about p. NJ, yesterday, II began &c
rain lightly, and early this morning it rained
for about two hours. 4.

these was acknowledged by the re-employ-
ment of the Primary and intermediate
teachers.
That many Of my patrons should voluntar-
lily come to me before applied for the school
and express themselves as anxions that /
should remain; that the President of the
School Board should ask me to again take the
school, stating that several of the patrons
had urged him to use his influence to get me
| to remain; that the School Board should de-
clare another person elected by vote of
three, when the law plainly says that it re-
quires vote of at least four to elect teach
er, with the fact that l was an applicant, all
taken together, constitute the second nyster-
ious revelation. That should receive such
treatment without justifiable cause, at a
season of the year when there were only two
important vacancies in the State, and I'M
known at those places, is enough to arouse
the righteous indignation of Moses.
But further comments from me are I'M
necessary, as the facts are now known to the
people, and from these they can draw their
own conclusion. Very respectfully,
JOIN B. SCOTT.

last Thursday night was very large, and
Grand Master Rogers woke up great many

unvarnished truth, and he spoke so that
every one understood Just what he said. We

COlOred Society Notes.

Owing to the cepiousness OF the weather
on the 1st inst, that grand time at Russells
Grove did not come off yet: as there was
nothing in the way at night. the festival and
specifying part of the programme was car
| ried out. The first speaker was J. W. Jack
son, of st. Louis, who, in pointed and an
eloquent speech of 80 minutes, gave to his
former friends and patrons wholesome
advice and called their attention to the fact
| that while they were representatives of one
of the proudest and most initiative races,
yet the pride which they displayed led them
| not to initiate the white man in the essential
things of life; the industry, frugaity and &C
quistiveness were of the white man set forth
| as the things to initiate. The kind of pride
| which leads a manito respect himself, his fam
lily and his race was the only kind of ambi-
| ton and pride worth having; for what sig
| nified gaudy apparel that covered body
inhabited by an ignorant and super
stitious soul?
What signified silk hat that covered an
empty head?
The speaker was followed by G. A. Maston,
who after briefly reviewing the essential
polHls ldClS VI ILeF. JaCkSOuS speech,
read the new Declaration of Independence
which sets forth IN appropriate language the
tyrannlcal oppression and ruinous policy OF
liking Alcohol"
Rev. Abanatha recently received a special
request from the trustees and stewards of a
former st. Louis charge to become their
pastor again, but as he is satisfied with Iron
ton he respectfuIy declined.
Mrs. Bridges was called suddenly to Farm
ington on the account of sad accident which
happened to her son while hauling lumber.
The Fourth was celebrated by dance at
the City Hall. Will Carter and Buck Martin
seemed to be the leading spirits.
Sias Vaughn, at the special request of
many OF his white friends, attended the pic
mic at Goulding's Park, on the 4th inst. 1t
is TO use to say, that with his superb banjo
solos and side-spitting Jokes, he added
materially to the success OF the picnic.
